Last Movie You Watched

You're quite welcome, sir. And since Warner installed 70mm equipment in a hundred theaters around the country last year for Dunkirk, I should think Boston would have at least one theater with the new equipment.  Hopefully the location will be convenient for everyone interested in the experience.

Cheers,

That must have been a blast, Dunkirk (which I enjoyed on Blu-ray).

I've just found this:

If the film is going to play in Columbus, Ohio in a few weeks, then it's sure to be in Boston at some point...

Dunkirk was impressive, particularly the aerial scenes. See it in a theater, if you ever have the opportunity.

About Time





A charming film about a guy's ability to travel back through time and how he uses it to shape and change his life. The relationship with his father is particularly appealing.

Did you see the movie "Arbitrage" starring Richard Gere that came out a few few years ago? It's a somewhat understated drama/thriller I found captivating.

No, I did not but thank you for the recommendation.

The Silence of the Lambs

Such a wonderful film!

[Moonfish]

Such a wonderful film!

That's the film through which I "fell in love" with Jody Foster.... 

Anyways, I almost feel like that was the peak of her career in terms of acting. Incredible role immersion. She and Anthony Hopkins definitely carry the film! And, of course, the incredible plot twists.    Always worth returning to every now and then....

I already had. I find her so beautiful in fact that it can be difficult to watch her movies. Every time the camera cuts to her a feel a tiny jolt.

Two of my favorites gaffs are in the movies Pearl Harbor and Armageddon.

In Pearl Harbor there is the scene where they are cutting into the hull of a capsized ship in order to save trapped sailors.  They cut a hole in the hull above the water line and the cabin the sailors are trapped in fill with water and they drown. (I know Pearl Harbor is not suppose to be fantasy but the only thing they got right is the date of the attack.  With all of the other gaffs is might as well be a fantasy.)

Why is that a gaff?

The Intern





Most enjoyable. A tale of a seventy year old intern and the impact that he has on the younger generation in a modern e-commerce industry. Quite amusing really.

'Tis here! In very Somerville!

Excellent! 

I hope you find it a worthwhile experience, with appropriate sound levels.

     An interesting development is that a 4k HDR version of the previous master had been available for preorder, but has been withdrawn. It looks like we'll get this one instead. I expect it will be optimized for home theater and loudness problems will be corrected, unlike Interstellar where the inaudible dialog is what Nolan intended, he says.

The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938)

Say it with an unaspirated h to savor the world class censor-baiting. How this got approved in 1938 is beyond me.

This is a slight crime comedy with Edward G Robinson and Bogart. Definitely second tier but has some interest. I confess I watched it mostly for the title. 6/10

Edward G. and Bogart together? Not many of those. I'll hunt it up.

  Actually "next movie I'll have watched"--going with fam to see Island of Dogs tomorrow.

Again, because it is just great fun: True Lies

Arnie's best movie IMO. Jamie Lee Curtis is terrific. Still, I prefer the french original movie. More elegance, more wit, less explosions.

Your Name by Makoto Shinkai. Could have been titled The Year of the Comet.  Not quite as spellbinding as Miyazaki's Spirited Away, but very ingenious, with a brilliantly realised visual conception.

I think that my daughter has that in her collection. I must investigate.
